Japanese Antique Edo Hand Carved Wood Noh Theater Mask Otobide 17th-18th Century
Japanese Antique Edo Hand Carved Wood Noh Theater Mask Otobide 17th-18th Century

Japanese Antique Edo Hand Carved Wood Noh Theater Mask Otobide 17th-18th Century

Located in Studio City, CA

A truly beautiful, wonderfully aged, alluring mask made for Japanese Noh theater. The naturally faded beauty and unique character drew us to this mask immediately. The mask is handcrafted and hand-carved from natural wood, clearly by a master of his trade. We believe this mask is of the Noh theatre character Otobide. This mask dates back to the Edo Period (1603-1868). It comes with a wooden storage box (which may have been added at a later date). A rare, unique, and exquisite mask. Finely carved and executed. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian art/artifacts collection or an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. Mask dimensions: 7.7" high, 5.7" wide, 2.1" deep...
